What is a dental implant for?
If you worry about having gaps in
your teeth and smile, a dental implant may be the right solution for you.
Whether you have a small gap where only one tooth is missing, or a larger gap
where you have lost several teeth, those teeth can be replaced to look as good
as new and completely natural with dental implants.
Reasons to have a dental implant:
Whether you have a natural genetic gap in your teeth or have had
an accident or an infection that caused the loss of one or more teeth, having a
gap in your teeth can cause a number of problems.
Maybe you find that food gets caught in the space in your teeth,
causing difficulties and pain when eating and making the exposed gum is more
liable to cuts and infection. Maybe you don't like to talk so much because it
exposes your teeth, maybe you're afraid to laugh, maybe you curl your lips in
to cover your teeth as you talk, or maybe the gap in your teeth causes you to
whistle when you talk. Maybe you feel self-conscious and embarrassed about your
teeth.
By far the most aesthetically pleasing and sensually natural way
to fill those gaps and prevent any further problems is to have one or more
dental implants.
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a high
quality false tooth that looks real. The implant is fitted permanently into
your jaw just like your other teeth and is designed to last a lifetime if cared
for properly. The dental implant looks and feels just like your other teeth and
does not need to be removed for cleaning.
The dental implant is formed up
of two parts: the implant root, and a crown that fits on top. The implant root
is a titanium rod that is placed into your jaw and holds the false tooth in
place. Fitted to the top of the implant root is a crown that is designed to
match and fit with your other teeth. If you need than one tooth replacing in a
particular spot, one implant root can be used to support several crowns.
What's next...
The first step is to make an appointment with us to evaluate
whether a dental implant is the best treatment for you. We will check the
health of your gums, your jaw integrity and your oral health generally to
ensure that your jaw and gums are healthy and strong enough to take implants
successfully.
If you suffer from long term diabetes, osteoporosis or have had
radiotherapy you may not be suitable for dental implants.
When you have been approved for dental implants, your dentist will
take x-rays and impressions of your teeth. Your dentist will decide on the best
positioning for your implant according to the x-rays. We will design your
replacement tooth or teeth by matching the colour, shape and bite carefully to
your existing teeth, using the impression to guide them.
Next you will have an appointment to have your implant (the
invisible part of your new tooth/ teeth) fitted.
When the implant has healed and is settled and secure, which
usually takes 6 to 12 weeks, you will have an appointment to have the visible
part of your tooth or teeth fitted to the implant.
We will want to see you regularly for a few months, just to make
sure that the implant is secure and healthy. You will need to take good care of
your new tooth/ teeth, just as you do with your other teeth, to ensure that
they continue to serve you well and look their best.
Finally you'll have the beautiful smile you've always wanted!
Enjoy.
